Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5711217, member: 722"] Right, it is an optional way they have implemented to make people into felons... From what I understand in my two minutes of search, the way the law is written, the law enforcement has wide discretion as to whether or not to apply "distribution" or "missing tax stamp" charges. (IANAL) In Alabama, I'm sure that means black people become felons and white people are charged with misdemeanor "possession" for the exact same incident. It isn't coincidental that Felons are restricted from voting in Alabama... But once you find out you might go to jail for 10 years for a baggie of Marijuana and a bong, giving up your right to vote for freedom seems like a good deal. It is a systematic way of reducing the right of black people to vote. But that veered way into politics. My apologies. [/QUOTE]
